<div>Hello Charles,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Hope you succeed. Letís see if any of these ideas can work for you.</div>
<div>There are many ways to do recruitment. Some work better than others given location and circumstances.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1) Make friends with your local media outlets, TV, radio, print and see if you can get an announcement about your startup. Having a date for an organizational meeting to be announced gives the announcement a specific purpose. Also checkout free community
bulletin boards, physical as well as the online variety.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>2) Until you are a team, you can promote the proposed team using your personal FB and Twitter feeds.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>3) Many states are moving away from the traditional Amateur Radio ARES/RACES structure and going to the Auxiliary Communication Service model. PA is one state that has done so and thanks to a fellow REACTer, REACT was written in to the plan up front. Check
this out;</div>
<div> </div>
<div style="font-size:small; text-decoration:none; font-family:"Calibri"; font-weight:normal; color:#000000; font-style:normal; display:inline">
<div style="font:10pt tahoma">
<div><a title="http://www.pema.pa.gov/responseandrecovery/paauxiliarycommunications/Pages/ACS-Program-Overview.aspx#.Vnn9zHco7cs" href="http://www.pema.pa.gov/responseandrecovery/paauxiliarycommunications/Pages/ACS-Program-Overview.aspx#.Vnn9zHco7cs" target="_blank">http://www.pema.pa.gov/responseandrecovery/paauxiliarycommunications/Pages/ACS-Program-Overview.aspx#.Vnn9zHco7cs</a></div>
<div><font size="3" face="Calibri"></font> </div>
<div><font size="3" face="Calibri">Check to see if your state EMA did not do the same thing. This is great news for REACT teams utilizing Part 90 and Part 95 radio service, EMA wants you! No longer do state agencies want all their eggs in the Amateur ONLY
basket.</font></div>
<div><font size="3" face="Calibri"></font> </div>
<div><font size="3" face="Calibri">4) You have to BE a team already but sights like
<a title="http://www.volunteermatch.org/" href="http://www.volunteermatch.org/" target="_blank">
http://www.volunteermatch.org/</a> allow you to create volunteer opportunities. The basic account is FREE and you can list several volunteer openings under your account. Then post those to your social media accounts.</font></div>
<div><font size="3" face="Calibri"></font> </div>
<div><font size="3" face="Calibri">5) Find out where and when your local Auxiliary Communication Service committee or group meets and go to the meeting. When you get a turn to speak, introduce yourself and tell them you are planning to start a REACT team. Tell
them what radio bands, services, etc you plan to use (Part 97 Amateur, Part 95 GMRS, FRS, MURS, CB, Part 90 business band). Member teams of REACT International, Inc. have the opportunity to use the itinerate Part 90 frequency on a temporary basis for an event,
disaster or incident, etc.</font></div>
<div><font size="3" face="Calibri"></font> </div>
<div><font size="3" face="Calibri">6) Havenít tried this one yet but we plan to. Look up HAMs by zipcode
<a title="http://www.radioqth.net/ziplookup" href="http://www.radioqth.net/ziplookup" target="_blank">
http://www.radioqth.net/ziplookup</a> . Then use the NTS system to send them each an invite/tease about your team via RadioGram. I will have to report how this works unless someone else tries it 1st.</font></div>
<div><font size="3" face="Calibri"></font> </div>
<div><font size="3" face="Calibri">7) Our team has an annual holiday social and we invite the local HAM club members to stop by and say hello, enjoy some holiday snacks and cider. There is no cost and no commitment of length of time. Other teams have told me
they have an annual picnic and do the same thing. You could also invite local elected officials and EMA staff to get a little friendlier.</font></div>
<div><font size="3" face="Calibri"></font> </div>
<div><font size="3" face="Calibri">8) Our team has one more trick up our sleeves. We do fund raising by recycling beverage cans, toner and ink cartridges and old computers. No one pays dues or insurance fees out of their pocket as long as they contribute to
the fund raising effort in a meaningful way. We have been able to do this now for 3 or 4 years. We have no events where we receive any kind of donation so this is how we raise funds. Some teams are able to secure donations from served organizations once they
are up and running. </font></div>
<div><font size="3" face="Calibri"></font> </div>
<div><font size="3" face="Calibri">OK, I am sure that others have many more ideas. Jump on this topic with your recruitment successes.</font></div>
